Zabaleta you were always nice. Never once did you complain about me or my siblings being loud or rowdy. I am going to remeber you laughing because it carried throughout the house. Dios lo tenga en su gloria. Recuerdo cuando sacastes el dientede mi hermano con un Hilo y la chapa de la Puerta. Te voy a recordar riendote en casa de Tencha. Que empaz Descanses.
